Living in a foreign culture there are many times when I realize that my perspective (观点) on life is drastically different from those Koreans I interact (相互影响) with on a daily basis. This past week I have been greatly challenged to change my perspective and here is why.

   My dream in life is to become a doctor, one who changes the world. But last week I opened an email from UBC that contained the words “regrets”, no interview. I didn’t get an interview to medical school, thus will not be entering school for September 2009. My immediate reaction was one of extreme disappointment and anger—mostly directed at myself for not working hard enough, for not seeking out the opportunities necessary to have a good application, for simply not being good enough. My mind was full of hopelessness and despair that left me with no desire to further seek for the dream that I’ve held for quite a time now.

    During the past week two things happened. At church our pastor mentioned perspective in a section of his sermon (说教). He stated that when we take our eyes off ourselves and realize God’s greatness, our circumstances will be seen through a new perspective.

    The second thing that reminded me to look at perspective was reading a book. The Mitford Series is so good if you are looking for books to read. So last night I was reading and one of the main characters (who is a priest) is trying to figure out what to say at church. His sermon ended up saying “In everything we give thanks.” It is easy to give thanks when we feel successful in life. It is easy to give thanks when we receive a blessing. But seriously, who in their right mind says thanks for the financial problems I have?

64. Where does the author probably live now?

A. In the USA.          B. In Britain.            C. In China.              D. In Korea.

65. How did she feel when the author received the email from UBC?

A. Surprised.             B. Disappointed.        C. Excited.                  D. Pleased.

66. In the first pastor’s view, when we face disappointment or despair, we should _________.

A. turn to God for help                                  B. say thanks to it

C. see it in another way                                  D. praise others for it

67. What can we infer from the passage?

A. The author can’t really free from the disappointment.

B. The author thinks the second sermon is wiser.

C. The author still wants to be a doctor.

D. The author thanks God for not being admitted by the university.

Millions of aircraft take off around the world every year. The skies they fly in seem limitless—miles of empty space. But, with the number of flights increasing each year, this emptiness no longer exists. Researchers in the world of aviation（航空）are worried about the increasing pressure on pilots and ground controllers. And increasing collisions, occurring at or near an airport, have called attention to the need for more aids（辅助设备）to aviation control.

   People who travel the skies are not certain about air safety. A great deal of money is spent on new and bigger aircraft and airports to deal with the vast increase in passengers travelling by air. Only a small percentage of this money is spent on navigation（导航）and other aids. Actually, suitable electronic equipment has long existed, and many companies market safety aids designed to make it safer for aircraft to take off, fly any distance, and land, whatever the weather. Yet, there are two problems to be solved. The first is to get governments, airlines and airport officials to agree to basic levels of safety aids. The second problem is to find a way of meeting these basic requirements.

   But no matter how well the equipment works, operators of the equipment still play an important role. Communications between pilots and ground controllers are extremely important to air safety. It is worth pointing out that the mishearing or misunderstanding of instructions in English and the use of another language, in an international conversation, have led to two recent aircraft accidents. A new type of instrument（仪器）called FLIGHTWATCH would help pilots prevent airport collisions. It would be particularly helpful near airports.

60. The increasing number of flights leads to the fact that ________.

   A. flying is no longer limited in the sky

   B. there is no empty space for aids to aviation control

   C. piloting and controlling planes is getting more difficult

   D. the pressure on the ground becomes greater

61. There is uncertainty about air safety because ________.

   A. planes become bigger for the increasing number of passengers

   B. money spent on electronic equipment is far from enough

   C. suitable electronic equipment hasn’t been invented yet

D. it is dangerous for planes to take off or land

62. The underlined word “collisions” probably means ________.

   A. accidents in which two planes hit each other

   B. misunderstandings between pilots and ground controllers

C. quarrels among passengers      

D. breakdowns of new types of instrument

63. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

   A. governments and officials have paid great attention to air safety

   B. there should be more companies to sell new safety aids

   C. English should be used in an international conversation

   D. understanding between pilots and ground controllers should be improved
